One of the things about the Ice Crevasse scene is that you miss a very important revelation in Ray and Fraser's relationship. I mean, don't get me wrong, with the hypothermia and the odd topics of conversation and the groin-to-groin action, it's easy to miss
Right here. I wondered why Ray mentioning Franklin made Fraser smile so broadly. Like, he's grinning. Hypothermia? Perhaps. But I realized not only is Ray telling Fraser that he was, technically, the first to fall asleep and listen to the story, but it cements that Ray's been listening to him the whole time he's been on the show.
If you rewatch, Ray pays attention and even engages with Fraser's unconventional tales. Running in a graveyard with guns blazing, asking who Godel is when you're about to drown, even with the joke that Ray is losing interest in what Fraser says in Mojo is Rising
Fraser knows that he's pretty boring to a lot of people. Sure, he's captivating, but he's used to being ignored or not taken seriously. The general consensus is 'he's telling another Inuit story' (<- something I find extremely disrespectful for multiple reasons :/)
But Ray? Never said that. And right here, Fraser knows that Ray's been listening to him the entire time. Every argument. Every story. Everything that Fraser said, Ray heard. And Ray still wants to hear more in their epilogue
